The Big Fella needs his touches
By Mike Wells

The season is still several months away and some of you are already lashing out at coach Jim O'Brien.

"What is O'Brien talking about with how he'll play small ball more often," one person wrote. "Get him out of here."

"You know how much I love the ability to play small and the more 3-point shooters I have available to me that are skilled and athletic, the more I can play the type of game to give us the best chance to win next year," O'Brien said last week.

The player that could be impacted is Roy Hibbert.

NOT COOL! Im sick of JOB. Seriously, he's ruining our young players. Hibbert, and McRoberts mostly but Rush also. This has got to stop. I know we arent letting him go until his contract is up but Damn at least say hey JOB your playing Hibbert....PERIOD! Im beginning to think Bird lost a bet where he has to keep JOB for X amount of years.

On the bright side Im really happy that we keep hearing that Roy is busting his ass to become a better player.

I just read on another site where it said The Big Fella needs his touches. There Needs to be a petition to fire Jim O'brien.

I agree, but it wont happen...I defended JOB for a while saying our team is young and in rebuilding anyways so it doesnt matter what coach we have. But now we need to develop and create team chemistry not have Murphy(soon to be gone) chucking threes

Lester Connor shoulda been givin the job instead of let go. I would like to see him be the coach for a season. I think its a lock pacers arent contending this year so now is the time for obrien to go and find the coach that could be here for the future.
